Credit Suisse has named Roger Suter as the new head of its private banking unit in Switzerland, effective 1 August 2022.

Suter, who is currently the Swiss bank’s regional head of Central Switzerland, succeeds current manager Serge Fehr.

Commenting on the development, Credit Suisse (Switzerland) CEO André Helfenstein said: “Private Banking Switzerland is a success story. Under the leadership of Serge Fehr, the business has continuously achieved strong results, transitioned to a more effective organisational set-up and introduced broad-based service excellence.

 “Thanks to Serge Fehr’s passion, dedication and hard work over the last seven years, we can now hand over a well-functioning business area to Roger Suter, who successfully managed an important region for the bank in Switzerland, worked closely with Serge and the Private Banking Switzerland leadership team for many years and has deep knowledge of our private banking business and strategy.”

Suter started his career at Credit Suisse in 1993. He was appointed as the regional head of Central Switzerland in 2012.
